They call it "free" trade. Problem is, there's nothing "free" about it. And Oregon's paid a very heavy price, with nearly 70,000 jobs shipped overseas. Families with no savings, no health care, and no security. How could Washington allow American jobs to become one of our country's biggest exports?
